Thank you.
Mr. Brunelle-Duceppe and Mr. Simard, I know your area well, and I can imagine how controversial the proposal to create the riding of Jonquière—Alma must have been.
My question is similar to the one Mr. Gourde asked. I would imagine the residents of Alma are not too keen to be merged with Lac‑Saint‑Jean and that whole region. What can we do? Is there another option you can propose? Do you just want to go back to the initial proposal and say that you'll accept it in spite of all its faults?
